Good evening all. Welcome to AN as I have been remiss in doing so earlier.

Sampling this evening from a care package received from a very stylish young man. Musc Maori which Mr Ali described as very pleasant (high praise from him). The opening was pure "Cadbury World" and it's now developing an inedible quality, still milk chocolate but hiding something. Interesting first 30 minutes.

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...Carl Sagan

Mercy, those are some beautiful images you folks are sharing today. Thank you.

Anomie et Ivoire, you’re a technical writer? Then you are well qualified to invent the word “upthread,” which is simply perfect.

Jujy54, I love how you smell. I think DK's Jasmine Essence is my fave jasmine.

Oh it's just a "day job" to support writing, grad school attempts, and art projects, but it's a good one as far as those go! I think someone else invented "upthread" at some point? When I'm not being paid to edit and be anal-retentive, I make tons of errors and have issues doing hyphens correctly. Tons of run-on sentences and fragments. I like to think it's a personal style of course. Or maybe a way of leaving work at work!

Those travel destination images are so tempting. Too bad for us landlocked ones.

SOTE: vintage Houbigant Chantilly. I wouldn't figure this one to be my style: too ostensibly femme, but this powdery oriental has a classic, comforting drydown.

Permanent crown is now affixed - rather painfully I might add !
I punched my dentist in the arm ( playfully ) three times at the height of the pain . He deserves it and his assistant cheered .

Still in Hypnotic Poison .
My DH bought me 2 more bottles of Hypnotic Poison today .
This is one of his favorites though he says the older bottle I still have ( which I guess is now ' vintage ' ) smells different and smoother - therefore better. Still HP remains a great .

Hope the pain has subsided, well, to be more realistic, at least somewhat subsided. At least you had a non-creepy dental team?
